10. Impacts
Their study is essential. It must be exhaustive, with no favourable or unfavourable preconceived ideas, and apply to projects designed with the environment in mind, rather than to projects from fifty years ago that are unacceptable today (such as the La Rance plant). These impacts can be compared with those of other renewable energies, on an equal-energy basis.
The corresponding data are presented for basins of hundreds of km 2 backing onto the coast; they are open to the sea via tidal turbine channels and can operate in both directions to maintain natural tidal conditions at the coast.
There are three types of impact: visual, environmental and socio-economic.
